...crosswind is causing the plane to drift sideways, the pilot may have to swing the rear antenna to right or left before it picks up the proper pattern of ground radiation. In that case, the amount of antenna swing is also fed into the computer, which then cranks the drift angle into its computations. Working with direction, ground speed, drift angle and flight time from a known point of departure, the pilot's computer becomes an accurate navigator...
...long as it is a good buy." He insisted that he did not want a director's seat; that Goldenson "leaves me with quite positive feelings about ABC and its future." Television executives, however, remembered the cases of McCall Corp. and Wheeling Steel, in which Simon followed the pattern of investment-takeover-management upheaval.

Says she: "I designed on the run-in planes, taxis and airports." What she produced was a loose-fitting line of at-home gowns (retail: $70 to $100) and rajah pajama sets in gold and hot pink...
...pattern? When you have a lot of life talk among bohemian young folk. Negroes, homosexuals, protestant white suburban mothers, single pregnant girls, middle-aged detractors of youthful pretension and youthful detractors of middle-aged complacency (and all these people wrapped up in six little characters none of which is a consistent or perceptive portrait of any type) you can make cracks not only about life, birth, death, sex, politics, and religion (which is all Dylan Thomas thought a writer could handle) but also about existentialism, television, the theater, psychoanalysis, social mores of two or three generations, race relations, and last...
